About
Dr. Pei Ling Tan is a pioneering clinician-researcher at the intersection of critical care medicine and rehabilitation robotics. Her work focuses on developing innovative, patient-guided technologies to restore pulmonary function in survivors of severe illness, particularly following COVID-19. Her landmark 2020 case study, "Post-Critical Care COVID-19 Patient Benefits from a Robotic Patient-Guided Suspension System for Pulmonary Rehabilitation," became the first documented application of robotic-assisted rehabilitation for post-COVID-19 respiratory recovery. This highly cited work (9 citations) demonstrated how a novel suspension system could safely enable early mobilization and breathing exercises in a patient recovering from prolonged critical care, directly addressing the emerging challenge of post-intensive care syndrome during the pandemic. Dr. Tan’s contributions are notable for bridging the gap between acute respiratory management and long-term functional recovery, offering a scalable, technology-driven solution for pulmonary rehabilitation. Her research has informed clinical protocols in Singapore and internationally, highlighting the role of robotics in transforming post-critical care outcomes.
